Paired with the B&B in horn, it's a sight to behold. If it could talk, it would've already convinced me into buying it a Maserati, and a house in the hills by now.

Thanks Jim. I'd like to say the warm fuzzy look was done on purpose, but it was more just a matter of poor lighting/flash/operator error/etc.

Hot towel
6/8 Puma Friseur Freund No.1 round point

Think I achieved BBS today. Very close and highly smooth shave - and I got independent and unbiased approval today too
The Puma and the 1805 cream go really well together.

Should have stuck with the Atra today, I think the M3 was a little dull. I can't believe they suggest you use the cartrige until the blue line disappears.. ouch.

Had no problem getting good lather with the TJ's Mango SC. No it wasn't the same as Floris, but it was decent. Yes, you have to use more, but at the price, who cares.
